“Behind the Fence” at Bradbury Science Museum, Los Alamos

“Behind the Fence” is a multisensory experience with nine interactive drawers and a 360o video at the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos, NM. This is an open source hardware permanent install that was custom designed and fabricated inside the museum. Behind the Fence uses RFID readers, three custom crafted scents, LEDs and responsive custom audio. This install also includes artifacts from the Manhattan Project to share stories using 360o video of buildings that are no longer accessible to the public including the Slotin Building, Pond Cabin, and Battleship Bunker.

The museum had Omar (find last name and title) to help with the construction of the installation, this would include building a new wall for three large monitors and a set of drawers to fit inside the wall so that the electronics may be accessed from the backside. The electronics, scents, and drawer inserts were designed and fabricated by Becca Sharp, Dr. Gallegos, Miriam Langer, and Rock Ulibarri.
